Meet the tartlet that couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a croissant or a dessert... so it became both.

These Peppermint Crisp Flower Tartlets are made with laminated croissant dough, twisted into a flower, baked until golden, then filled with peppermint mousse and lime sponge, finished with generous shards of Peppermint Crisp chocolate.

The kind of pastry that makes you say,
*"I'll just have one..."*
and then immediately regret not buying two.

Handcrafted in small batches by Crustworthy Bakehouse, where we firmly believe pastries should be as beautiful as they are delicious.

Made with real butter
Filled with peppermint goodness
Almost too pretty to eat...

70% Rye bread.

A little-known fact about REAL 70% rye bread is that it actually requires a "cure time" of at least 24 to 48 hours after baking before you should even slice it.
If you slice it too soon, the inside will be sticky and leave a "paste" on your knife.

Small bite, big mood!

Our Pearl Onion Tatin is proof that good things come in small, buttery, flaky package.
Weโ€™ve turned the classic Tatin on its head (literally) with caramelized pearl onions, a hint of thyme, and a crumble of goat cheese.

One is never enough. Don't say we didn't warn you!

The great thing about going into winter is that citrus fruits are back!!! So I made my "Corsican Forest" Brookie.

I made blanched orange zest & rosemary as decoration... I will have to make candied ones for better shelf life though.
